PS5 Slim Release Date Speculation (2023)
Though there’s nothing concrete from Sony themselves, Microsoft claims that the PS5 Slim will release in late 2023. And there’s actually a good reason to believe this speculation. Sony has a long-standing tradition of releasing a Slim and Pro variant of their consoles every three years. Since September 2023 will mark three years since the release of the PlayStation 5, the idea of a PS5 Slim releasing this year is definitely not far-fetched. But how is Microsoft leaking this sensitive information?
PS5 Slim Leaks (Microsoft’s Leaked Document in FTC Case)
The PS5 Slim leaks surfaced through a document owned by Microsoft which was part of a legal argument with the FTC. In this document, Microsoft states that the PS5 Slim as well as the Pro model will be released later in 2023. And that’s not all, the billion-dollar worth tech company also divulged the price of the PlayStation 5 Slim console.
PS5 Slim Price
The now-leaked Microsoft document reveals that the PS5 Slim is expected to cost $399. Back when the PS4 Slim was released, it was priced at $299. If Sony decides to stick to its tradition, then we can predict the PlayStation 5 Slim to release at the same price point as the PS5 Digital Edition.
